Sketching orbitals
Does anyone know if we will be quizzed on sketching the shapes of the orbitals on the test?

Re: Sketching orbitals
We might be required to identify orbitals given the pictures or name the orbitals according to whatever axis they lie on, but then again, I'm not sure.

Re: Sketching orbitals
As the previous comments clarify, you will not be asked to draw orbitals, but I would be familiar with their general shape, planes, etc. for future chemistry courses (if you plan to stay in this series). It is a cool skill to have and helps make a very foreign, complex more tangible when you can visualize the electron field and what it contains!
